8gb or 16 gb micro sdhc and which class should i get 2, 4, 6, or ?

I got that same card for $15.something yesterday, plus free shipping. Funny, reading back through, six months ago those cards were double the price.

Funny, I paid $13.00 usd for transcend 8Gb class 6 3-4 weeks ago in the same place

sorry to revive a dead thread, but i'd like to know if there is a huge difference in camera performance or any other performance (video, audio playback) between a class 2 card and a class 6. i'm looking for a 16gb right now. thanks.

The only thing you would need a class 6 for is if you are rooted and using apps2sd, other than that I don't think there will be any performance drop in whatever class you choose.

Micro SDHC 8 GB Class 6 would be best if you root and Apps2SD. Newegg has em for under $20 shipped like this one here.

Otherwise, if you don't root, no need to get Class 6 since the speed difference is probably negligible and you could go for something with more space.

For those of you who have rooted and run apps from your SD card, does a class 6 card really show a noticeable difference compared to a class 2 card when running apps? I have a 16 GB Class 2 card and I just recently rooted and put my apps on my SD w/ Cyanogen's rom. I haven't noticed any terrible lagging, but would a Class 6 card really provide a crisper experience?

I had an A-Data 4gb card that would not hold more than about 2gb. Switched to SanDisk and got much better performance.

I am using a 8gb class 2 and use Apps2SD and I have also moved my Dalvik-cache to the sd card. I do not see any lag or diff as to when I was not using Apps2SD. The speed is the same and I gained about 25 meg extra on my Hero moving the cache to the sd card. I have a 16 gig on the way. I am hoping the speed will be the same.

While I can't speak from Android-usage experience, my experience with SDHC cards has shown faster, even if imperceptible, is better, and generally the price isn't much if at all different when it comes to speed classes.

I've been using an A-Data 8GB Class 6 card on my handheld gaming system for over a year now. No slowdown, no problems. I got it from NewEgg.com for about $20 with an SD card adapter. I'm looking at getting another for my G1 (if not a 16GB) since I've found myself taking more pics with my phone than I thought I would.

I've also used Panasonic's SDHC card formatter to properly format my cart (which I've only had to do once on one my daughter was using.) It's specifically designed for SD cards and works perfectly from what I've seen and read about: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/c...formatter.html

Does anyone here have a 8 or 16GB class 6 That will post some benchmarks for me?

Thanks.

I'm trying to see if something like the transcend or a data class 6 are close to sandisks 16gb mobile ultra class 4. If close than i won't spend extra for the mobile ultra
